No less than 13 players are currently on the treatment table at Melwood which means Jurgen Klopp will have to turn to the kids for the clash against the League Two side.

The Reds have recently recalled a number of players from loan spells, including Ryan Kent and Sheyi Ojo, as Klopp prepares to hand out a number of first-team debuts tonight.

But who will feature against the Grecians? And what can we expect from this next generation of Liverpool hopefuls?

Here's a look at some of the young guns that Jurgen Klopp could turn to...

Connor Randall

Age: 20

Position: Right-back

Liverpool appearances: 2

A local lad, born and raised in Kirkby, Randall has been at the club since he was six and broke into the under-21 side in 2013.

Was sent to Shrewsbury on loan last January, but only featured once as a 90th minute substitute. Made his first appearance on the Liverpool bench in the Europa League match against Bordeaux in September and made his full debut in the League Cup win against Bournemouth in October.

Combines tough tackling with an attacking instinct and is an excellent passer of the ball.

Age: 22

Position: Centre-back

Liverpool appearances: 0

A Portuguese Under-21 international who was born in Hampstead and moved to Liverpool from Sporting for £6million in 2013. The defender was loaned out to Spanish side Granada in January 2014 and spent last season at Bordeaux.

He has just returned from an unsuccessful loan spell at Aston Villa after the Villans agreed to end the agreement early after he failed to appear for the Premier League basement dwellers.

Has yet to make a single appearances for the Reds.

Brad Smith

Age: 21

Position: Left-back

Liverpool appearances: 4

An Australian left-back who appeared to be on his way out of Anfield in the summer after he rejected a new deal and saw his Reds contract expire. The club held onto his registration though and in October he eventually penned a new contract.

Has impressed when given a chance in the Capital One Cup this season, with his hard running and attacking instincts convincing Klopp to promote him into the first-team squad.

Kevin Stewart

Age: 22

Position: Defender/Midfielder

Liverpool appearances: 0

Another player who has been recalled from a loan spell and is set to make his Liverpool debut tonight. The versatile youngster joined from Spurs in 2014 and had loan stints at Cheltenham and Burton Albion earlier this year, before joining Swindon for this season.

A useful player to have around, as he can play in either full-back position or in midfield.

Cameron Brannagan

Fan: Klopp has been full of praise for Cameron Brannagan (Image: Nick Taylor/Liverpool FC)

Age: 19

Position: Midfielder

Liverpool appearances: 3

Manchester-born teenager who has been at Liverpool's Academy since the age of five.

An attacking midfielder who can operate behind the strikers or on either flank, Brannagan was handed his full Reds debut in the 1-0 Capital One Cup with Bournemouth following a number of cameo appearances off the bench.

According to Jurgen Klopp he has "everything a midfielder should have".

Ryan Kent

Impressed on loan at Coventry this season before being recalled earlier this week.

Oldham-born Kent is able to play on either flank and can also do a job behind the striker. Was part of Liverpool's pre-season tour to Australia, Thailand and Malaysia, but is yet to make his Reds debut.

Has represented England at under-20 level.

Joao Texeira

Age: 22

Position: Midfielder

Liverpool appearances: 2

Showed a glimpse of his talent with a cheeky backheel which led to Nathaniel Clyne's winner in the Capital One Cup victory against Bournemouth.

A Portuguese youth international who signed from Sporting in February 2012 before joining Brentford on loan.

Has suffered with a number of injuries which have curtailed his progress, but had a successful stint at Brighton in the 2014-15 season before suffering a broken leg.

Sheyi Ojo

Age: 18

Position: Winger

Liverpool appearances: 0

Liverpool snapped up the lively winger from MK Dons in 2011, pipping Chelsea to the then-14-year-old's signature.

Ojo has represented England at various youth levels, often playing up an age group.

Pacey, direct and able to play on either flank, Ojo needs to work on his consistency if he is to force his way into the first-team reckoning at Anfield.

Jerome Sinclair

Up in the air: Jerome Sinclair's Reds future is up for debate (Image: Nick Taylor/Liverpool FC)

Age: 19

Position: Striker

Liverpool appearances: 3

The youngest plater ever to turn out for the Reds, Sinclair made his Liverpool debut at the age of 16 years and six days against West Brom in the League Cup in 2012.

Since then he has mainly been restricted to Liverpool's under-18 and under-21 teams, plus a loan spell at Wigan which saw him only make one appearance.

Has been the subject of a contract stand-off, with his current deal expiring at the end of the season.

If he is handed the opportunity, a good performance against Exeter could help convince Jurgen Klopp to tie down the England youth international's future.
